In-Depth Information
Create more sticks and planks if you need to, but don't go overboard. Just make what you
need. The inventory looks like it has plenty of space right now, but it quickly fills, and
while you can stack most items in piles of 64 in each inventory slot, it's more efficient to
store wood in particular in its most efficient form. You see, if one wooden block can cre-
ate 4 planks of wood, then converting 64 wooden blocks to planks creates 256 planks, and
they'll completely fill another 4 slots. Converting all those blocks to sticks fills 8 slots! So
just craft what you need when you need it.
Now create a sword using one stick and two plank blocks using any column of three slots
in the crafting grid.
If you're enjoying crafting, also create a shovel. It's handier for digging through dirt and
gravel.
When you've finished, your inventory should look something like the one shown in
